IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result  
in a fall and serious injury.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two  
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill  
on any surface that blocks air openings. To  
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place  
a mat under the treadmill.  
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor protector away from heated surfaces.  
14. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if  
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the  
treadmill is not working properly. (See  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust  
the speed in small increments to avoid sudden  
jumps in speed.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 300 pounds.  
17. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill over-  
heating, do not operate the treadmill continu-  
ously for longer than one hour.  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
18. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors, including the user's  
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart  
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes  
that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir-  
cuit breaker to the off position when the  
treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on  
page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor  
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
20. Do not raise, lower, or move the treadmill  
until it is properly set up. (See HOW TO SET  
UP THE TREADMILL on page 6 and HOW TO  
FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page  
26.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds  
(20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-  
3651 and order part number 146148.  
21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.

22. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.  
26. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR when you are not  
using them.  
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill regularly.  
27. Never drop or insert any object into any  
opening.  
24. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an  
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
is about to change. Always listen for the  
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
28. This treadmill is intended for home use only.  
Do not use this treadmill in any commercial,  
rental, or institutional setting.  
29.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the treadmill, and before performing the main-  
tenance and adjustment procedures de-  
scribed in this manual. Never remove the  
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an  
authorized service representative. Servicing  
other than the procedures in this manual  
should be performed by an authorized service  
representative only.  
25. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you  
can manually override the speed and incline  
settings by pressing the speed and incline  
buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is  
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to  
the next settings of the CD or video program.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This  
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.  
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property  
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL  
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. A rubber mallet  
may be needed for  
assembly.  
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a  
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal  
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off  
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.  
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the  
1
Uprights (65) until the treadmill is in the position shown.

HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR  
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR  
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all  
instructions on this page and the following page.  
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each  
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate  
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off  
when it is removed and the electrode areas are  
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each  
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,  
draining the battery prematurely.  
The heart rate mon-  
1
itor consists of two  
components: the  
chest strap and the  
sensor unit.  
Chest Strap  
See drawing 2 and  
attach the chest  
strap to the sensor  
unit. Insert one of  
the tabs on the  
chest strap through  
one end of the sen-  
sor unit. Make sure  
to press the end of  
the sensor unit  
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do  
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or  
other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time

Unit  
Buckle  
• Clean the sensor unit periodically using a damp  
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.  
The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.  
Next, wrap the heart  
rate monitor around  
your chest and at-  
tach the other end of  
the chest strap to  
the sensor unit.  
Adjust the length of  
the chest strap, if  
necessary.  
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
The instructions on the following pages explain  
how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.  
If the letters “PLS” appear in the PULSE display or if  
the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low,  
try the steps below.  
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-  
tor exactly as described at the left. If the heart rate  
monitor does not function properly when positioned  
as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your  
chest.  
The heart rate moni-  
tor should be under  
your clothes, tight  
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus-  
cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the  
logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-  
side-up.  
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the  
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until  
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.  
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches  
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.  
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow  
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact  
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the  
sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-  
self near the center of the walking belt. For the  
console to display heart rate readings, the user  
must be within arm’s length of the console.

• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical  
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-  
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
Locate the battery cover  
on the back of the sen-  
sor unit. Insert a coin  
into the slot in the cover  
and turn the cover coun-  
terclockwise to the

TREADMILL OPERATION  
TM  
THE PERFORMANT LUBE WALKING BELT  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with  
GFCI-equipped outlets.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with  
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.  
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other  
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-  
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking  
belt and cause excessive wear.  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man if you are in doubt as to whether the  
product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided with the product—if it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can  
result from weather conditions or from other appli-  
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-  
bility of your treadmill being damaged, always use  
a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see draw-  
ing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppres-  
sor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-  
806-3651 and order part number 146148.

Surge Suppressor  
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is  
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-  
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a  
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less  
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.  
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated  
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a  
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-  
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to  
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could  
result in damage to the control system of the  
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the  
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-  
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-  
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive  
technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a  
personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio  
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home  
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play  
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com  
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).  
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control  
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal  
trainer coaches you through every step of your work-  
out. High-energy music provides added motivation. To  
purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-  
free 1-800-735-0768.  
The advanced console offers an impressive array of  
features to make your workouts more effective. When  
the console is in the manual mode, the speed and  
incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of  
a button. As you exercise, the LED displays will provide  
continuous exercise feedback.  
The console also offers ten preset workout programs—  
four fat burn programs that automatically control the  
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you effective  
fat-burning workouts; four aerobic programs that control  
the speed and incline of the treadmill to provide optimal  
aerobic exercise; and two pulse programs that change  
the speed and incline to keep your heart rate within a  
target range during your workouts.  
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you  
cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-  
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for  
more information.

tings move to the left, if all of the indicators in the  
CURRENT PERIOD column are lit, the speed set-  
tings may move downward so that only the highest  
indicators in the columns will appear in the LED  
matrix. When the speed settings move to the left  
again and not all of the indicators in the CURRENT  
PERIOD column are lit, the speed settings will  
move back up.

the manual mode will be  
selected. To select a fat  
burn program or an aer-  
obic program, press the  
MODE button repeatedly  
until one of the four fat burn indicators or one of  
the four aerobic indicators lights. The LED matrix  
will show the first twelve speed settings of the pro-  
gram you have selected. The SPEED/PACE dis-  
play will flash the program’s maximum speed set-  
ting and the INCLINE display will flash the pro-  
gram’s maximum incline setting for ten seconds.  
If the speed or incline setting for the current  
period is too high or too low, you can manually  
override the setting by pressing the SPEED or  
INCLINE buttons. Every few times one of the  
SPEED buttons is pressed, an additional indicator  
will light or darken in the CURRENT PERIOD col-  
umn. If any of the columns to the right of the  
CURRENT PERIOD column have the same num-  
ber of lit indicators as the CURRENT PERIOD col-  
umn, an additional indicator may light or darken in  
those columns as well. Note: If you manually ad-  
just the speed setting so that all of the indicators in  
the CURRENT PERIOD column are lit, the speed  
settings in the LED matrix will not move downward  
as described above. Note: If you manually over-  
ride the speed or incline setting for the current  
period, when the period ends the treadmill will  
automatically adjust to the speed and incline  
settings for the next period.

While the program is in progress, minor adjust-  
ments can be made to the speed or incline of the  
treadmill with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.  
However, if you increase the speed, the incline will  
automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed,  
the incline will increase. If you increase the incline,  
the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,  
the speed will increase. The console will always  
attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate  
setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.  
Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting,  
the speed cannot be increased any further. When  
the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed  
cannot be decreased any further.

REEBOK UNIVERSITY  
Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a  
vision to establish a “university without walls” that  
develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness  
programming for the fitness industry throughout the  
world.  
WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVAS-  
CULAR DISEASE  
Several studies have found that regular walking at any  
speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density  
lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the  
body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglyc-  
erides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for  
Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok  
University has created a host of original programs,  
such as Step Reebok®, Walk ReebokSM, Slide ReebokSM cardiovascular disease.  
and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted  
Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our  
guidelines and terminology are used by fitness profes-  
sionals and participants around the world, and our  
exceptional programming has been approved in the  
United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing educa-  
tion credits.  
Duncan and his colleagues3 concluded that exercise  
does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular  
risk factors. In other words, people who choose to  
stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for  
cardiovascular disease.  
After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000  
Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger  
and his colleagues4 concluded that walking as little as  
five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardio-  
vascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can  
reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.  
Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve  
aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can  
reduce a person's risk for heart disease.  
WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY  
ENDURANCE  
Scientific studies confirm that  
walking at a moderate to brisk  
pace can enhance aero-  
bic fitness. Rippe and  
his colleagues1 found  
that of 500 subjects  
tested, 67% of the men  
and 90% of the women  
were able to reach their  
target heart rates by  
walking 4 to 4.5 miles  
per hour.  
WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION  
Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.  
The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the  
more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound  
person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will  
burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person  
will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline  
and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If  
this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on  
level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.5  
Pollock and his colleagues2 found that middle-aged  
men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour  
for 40 minutes four times per week had the same car-  
diovascular improvements as men the same age who  
jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although  
the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than  
the runners, the increased duration and frequency of  
walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic ben-  
efits as the runners.  
It should be noted that participants who do not wish to  
walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number  
of calories by walking for longer periods of time.  
WALKING AND BONE DENSITY  
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United  
States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.  
An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the  
density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening  
since many older people die as a result of complica-  
tions suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in  
the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce  
the risk of osteoporosis.  
On the basis of current research, it seems clear that  
walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel-  
lent aerobic activity.

Several studies have reported that regular walking at  
moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone  
density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6 found  
that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 min-  
utes per day had higher bone mineral content than  
subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.  
Jones and his colleagues7 reported that sedentary  
women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular  
walking program and continued for one year increased  
their bone density.  
During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants  
who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and  
5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that  
necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and  
his colleagues10 reported that 14% of the elderly sub-  
jects participating in a walking study suffered training-  
related orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and  
foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as-  
signed to "fast walking."  
It is important to note that all forms of exercise have  
some degree of risk associated with the activity.  
Generally, the less mechanical stress on the muscu-  
loskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.  
Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the inci-  
dence of injury appears to be low when compared to  
other high-impact activities.  
Since walking can be comfortably performed by people  
of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-  
tive in reducing a person's risk for developing osteo-  
porosis.  
WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION  
There are many stressors in today's society, including  
economic concerns, work-related pressures and the  
need to balance career goals with home responsibili-  
ties. People who are unable to cope with these types  
of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may  
even become physically or psychologically ill.

WALKING AND INJURIES  
Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.  
Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity be-  
cause one foot remains in contact with the ground at  
all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour pro-  
duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times  
body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in-  
creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times  
body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-  
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in  
your training zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for individu-  
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-  
existing health problems.  
The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors, including the user's  
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart  
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for pro-  
longed periods of time. This increases the demand on  
the heart to pump blood to the muscles and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, ad-  
just the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-  
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes  
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-  
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-  
tion in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer-  
cise—never hold your breath.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to  
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers define your “train-  
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the  
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-  
ercise problems.  
You can measure your heart rate using the heart rate  
monitor.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. After a few months, you may  
complete up to five workouts each week if desired.  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively  
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
